THE BOAT RACE.

The boat race between the Van
dallas fourteen-oared barge and
the native fourteen-oared boat Hama
keoki, on Saturday afternoon, ex-
cited great interest. The race,
which was over four-mile course,
started at little past four O'Clock.
The native boat led from the begin
ming, and kept slightly ahead until
the open sea was reached. Before
arriving at the turning point the
boats got too close together some
how or other, and the Vandalia peo-
pie threw up their oars and claimed
a foul. The natives kept on, how
ever, rounded the flag, and returned
to the starting point. The Vandalia
boat came leisurely back from where
the foul was claimed, flying little
flag with a rooster painted on it.
The judges allowed the foul, and
decided that the race should be run
over again forthwith. The boats
were accordingly called to line.
But dissatisfaction prevailed, and
there was no more racing that day.
Before the commencement and dur
ing the race, the wharves and the
shipping swarmed with eager 81 &C.
tators. Considerable money had
been staked on the issue, and the
result was naturally unsatisfactory
to both sides.

THE FUTURE OF KANSAS CITY.

Now that it is generally conceded that
Wichita is to be the commercial center of
the great west, people are beginning to ask
what is to become of Kansas City. Situated
in the rich valley of the great Arkansas,
with railroad connections with Atchison,
Kansas City, st. Louis, Galveston and
Omaha, it is easily seen that she will COM
mand the trade of this immense productive
country described within the circle of these
last mentioned cities. The packing
houses will in all probability be
removed to this city from Kansas
City. This being the center of the
great stock producing country, and having
better facilities for reaching markets where
these products are consumed, it cannot
reasonably be expected that Kansas City
can hold her own in this particular indus
try. Kansas City will continue to COM
mand the trade of Springfield and St.
Joseph, and if the ''clearings' continue in
the brush districts of Northern Missouri,
she will be likely to maintain her present
status. No, the present and growing i'm
portance of Wichita does not necessitate
the depopulation of Kansas City. We
predict the close of the present century
will find Kansas City with little if any less
population than she has TODAY.

"Wichita is dead" Such reports prevail
ing in the east have brought large num-
Der of men here to look after their invest
ments and save something out Of the gener
al wreck. They have come, driven ovel
! the city, tried to count the new buildings
then the large blocks and elegant house:
going up, seen the street railroads reaching
out in every direction, noted the new
manufacturing establishments, coming in
every week, witnessed the life, the energy,
the nerve, the force, of this young giant of
the west, and instead of selling out, have in
vested more, and gone back to their homes,
assured that the possibilities Of this city are
only comprehended by those who come
here and investigate.
1t is trne that the real estate erase that
was here three months ago has gone, but a
good healthy market has been established
in its place, and prices of good property
have not diminished, nor will they. This
city will soon see bigger boom than it has
ever had, and one that will last. 1t never
stood upon better foundation for perma-
nent prosperity than it does today. No
better investment can be made with money,
than in Wichita property. All stores and
houses are occupied as soon as completed
and at good rents. A store room 25xS0 or
100 rents for 800 to $125 per month. A
four room house $50, an eight room house
$40 per month. Hundreds of people are
now living in tents for the lack of houses
This city and towns all about afford a
splendid opportunity for market garden
ing. There is now a demand for 5000
acres of garden truck and small fruit. The
drouth and the grasshoppers are gone.
Kansas is a magnificent agricultural state,
and Wichita grand commercial city,
whose population in five years will reach
10O, 900, and will not stop even there
Wichita was never more alive with all the
real forces that build great cities than she
Is today. G.. W. CLEMENT.

A DEFAMER.

In its anxiety to make a ungenerous
thrust at the editor of this paper, Col.
Murdoch. the Topeka Capital of last Sun
day publishes letter from an Ohio man
which is not only gross insult to the peo-
pie of Wichita, but to the entire people of
Kansas. In its comments the Capital says:
"The letter to the editor of the Eagle,
published in another column, was trans
mitted to a citizen of Kansas In private
letter who sent it to the Capital. Mr.. Muir
docks refusal to endorse the sentiments
contained in this document by his declin-
ing to publish the same will furnish food
for reflection. and our readers can draw
their own conclusions"
1t may naturally be inferred from the
above extract that the Capital does en-
dorse the sentiments contained In
the letter. Whether Col Murdoch ever
refused to publish this Ohio mans letter
can not now be determined. But the Cap
ital may safely conclude if it was presented
to him, that it was refused. He is not in
the habit of publishing letters containing
such falshoods as this Ohio mans letter
found in the columns of the Capital and
endorsed by its editor, in which it is made
to appear that Ohio is the most productive
state, while Kansas, he says, is noted for
its failures. Wichita and Sedgwick coun-
ty has shown their good will for Ohio peo-
pie by sending them whole train loads of
corn. They are good people and. the
Capital in its anxiety to injure Wichita bas
allowed itself to be opposed upon by
crank, and has published a letter by an
Ohio man dated at Wichita, that will be
republished to injure Kansas.
